Chapter 135 The ministers remonstrate to death!(1/2)
"What orders do the Empress Dowager summoned the old minister?"
Zhang Zhongyi was already asleep, but after hearing the Queen Mother's call, he immediately got up and came to the palace in a hurry.
The Empress Dowager said with a gloomy face, "Zhang Zhongyi, the Ai family has a task to hand over to you."
"Please give orders to the Queen Mother."
When Zhang Zhongyi heard this voice, he knew something was wrong, and he muttered in his heart whether something extraordinary happened again?
His Majesty has been unconscious in recent days, and the government and the people are shocked.
Rong Fei Zhenye and other relevant personnel were all sent to prison, and everyone was in danger.
At this time, it seems normal for something bad to happen again.
"The King of Han has arrived in the capital."
"And camp twenty miles outside the city."
"You go and ask, what exactly is he going to do with the Imperial Order?"
"Why did you lead your troops into Beijing privately?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid came to Zhang Zhongyi with the token of the empress dowager and said softly, "Mr. Zhang, please accept the order."
"Mr. Zhang?"
Seeing that Zhang Zhongyi did not respond, the maid called out softly again.
"ah..."
"I received the order."
Zhang Zhongyi only realized now.
The first words of the Queen Mother shocked him.
His Highness the King of Han actually arrived in the capital?
Still leading the army?
Could it be that His Highness the King of Han came to know about his mother's mother and His Majesty?
But this is too reckless, right?
Without the imperial edict from the court, I would be a death sentence for leading troops to the capital without a death sentence?
Seeing that Zhang Zhongyi was still stunned, Queen Zhang said coldly, "Why don't you go quickly?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"I'll go right away."
Zhang Zhongyi leaned over and withdrew from Cining Palace, and the shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.
About half an hour later, Zhang Zhongyi took a carriage outside the Han King's military camp.
It seemed as if Guo Tianyi had known that the court would send people. As soon as Zhang Zhongyi arrived at the gate of the camp, soldiers opened the gate.
"My memory, Zhang Zhongyi, see His Highness the King of Han."
In the central army's tent, Zhang Zhongyi saw Guo Tianyi, who was more majestic and murderous intent than before, and knelt down to salute.
"Mr. Zhang, please give me a gift."
Guo Tianyi stretched out his hand and raised it in the void, signaling.
"Your Highness, I want to know why Your Highness brought troops into the capital privately?" Zhang Zhongyi stood up and looked at Guo Tianyi and asked.
Regarding the position in the officialdom, Zhang Zhongyi is from Prime Minister Yan Xiliang.
I also support Guo Tianyi.
But in terms of the overall situation, he is the Empress Dowager and the relative of the Zhang family.
Therefore, at this moment, Guo Tianyi led his troops into the capital, and he was extremely puzzled.
His Highness the King of Han has a bright future, so why do you have to do such a thing?
In addition, the fact that Concubine Rong's case has not yet been revealed, and His Majesty is unconscious again. At this time, His Highness the King of Han will inevitably make the situation tense when he arrives in the capital.
"Mr. Zhang."
"I am so full of words that I don't want to say."
"This is a secret edict sent by the Empress Dowager to Yuwen Yuanzhen."
"Look at it."
Guo Tianyi gave the imperial edict placed on the table to Zhang Zhongyi and said calmly.
"this..."
“This is this…”
After reading the secret decree, Zhang Zhongyi was shocked and his hand holding the imperial decree trembled slightly unconsciously.
"Absurd, absurd..."
When Zhang Zhongyi saw that the Empress Dowager wanted to summon the King of Qin to the capital, and asked Yuwen Yuanzhen to remove Guo Tianyi from military power and send someone to send Guo Tianyi to the capital, he knew that the Empress Dowager did something stupid.
Isn’t this strategy directly stiffening the situation?
Furthermore, during the night banquet in Weiyang Palace, the Empress Dowager had the intention to make the King of Qin the crown prince.
This is something that is not consistent with common sense.
Now Guo Tianyi has won the hearts of the people and made great contributions. It is in the sense of reason and according to the ancestral etiquette, Guo Tianyi should inherit the throne.
The Empress Dowager did this undoubtedly disappointed His Highness the King of Han.
Moreover, most of the court officials supported His Highness the King of Han.
If the King of Qin was allowed to supervise the country, it would be a constant disaster and many ministers would be cleansed.
More importantly, the Queen Mother’s imperial edict did not pass through the cabinet.
This is not in line with the rules.
Even if the emperor wants to issue an order to decide what matters depends on whether the ministers agree or not.
If most people disagree, the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.
Otherwise, the one who welcomes a court will be that the monarch and ministers are not united and have no intention and good deeds.
It is unreasonable that the Empress Dowager quietly issued such a secret decree to Yuwen Yuanzhen.
If you are His Highness, King of Han.
It seems that at this moment, I can only go to the capital to find out the truth, and there is no other way.
Furthermore, His Highness the King of Han was just a general camp outside the city and did not do anything out of particular way.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think, should I surrender and wait for my uncle to supervise the country and then ascend the throne?" Guo Tianyi patted Zhang Zhongyi's shoulder and said lightly.
Zhang Zhongyi and Yan Xiliang are also friends for many years.
Guo Tianyi knew that Zhang Zhongyi was a wise person and a capable person.
"Your Highness said yes."
"There is indeed no way to lead troops into the capital."
Zhang Zhongyi bowed to Guo Tianyi and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager's actions are neither in line with etiquette nor the rules. I will now call the Prime Minister, Grandmaster, Grandmaster and other officials into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager."
During the night banquet in Weiyang Palace, many court officials opposed the empress dowager's intention.
And now, they all see Guo Tianyi's performance.
It is even more impossible to support the Queen Mother’s idea.
Of course, all this has a prerequisite, that is, Concubine Rong and others did not intend to murder His Majesty.
"Mr. Zhang, I know what you are worried about." Guo Tianyi smiled, "Whether my mother suffered a wrongful injustice or did it on purpose, I will find out the truth and put the evidence in front of you."
"Your Highness, holy wisdom!"
Zhang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Guo Tianyi.
What he was most worried about was that Guo Tianyi was young and frivolous, and he took action directly after a disagreement.
In that case, even if Guo Tianyi becomes the emperor, he will leave a message.
Only by being upright and upright can one establish prestige.
"alright."
"Go."
"I am waiting for your good news."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will leave."
Zhang Zhongyi was originally here to question the crime, but now he transformed into a person who supported Guo Tianyi.
